My transitions of life..

A week has passed..

I have good news.. I get the PTD post!! Alhamdulillah..

I called the officer in-charged at 4.30pm on Monday..
Before I made that call, I completed all the forms which I have to bring to JAKIM for report duty. (just in case I didnt get the PTD post, by thenI have no mood to do all those things ;)

Being a PTD is something I've been looking forward to. Mainly, because I think I can contribute more to the country by being a PTD.See, I am a patriotic citizen ;) Secondly, because of it's name.Because it is known as the creme de la creme in the govt sector apart from the professional groups; Doctors, dentists etc. I know the niat is totally wrong but when you have 2sisters who r doctors, another in the process and my brother, soon to-be engineer, I cant help feeling I'm below them. At least, I can get something as glamourous as they are.
Pathetic isn't it? Being a Food Tech Officer may not be that bad, but you know how ignorant people can be, some never even know that Food Tech Officer post exists. And secondly, because of the benefits I can get through all the networking.It may not be just for me, but also for my family and friends.

Alhamdulillah, I passed the interview, then something else came-up plak.. I felt like giving-up because one of the officer told me the chances is very tipis. As if he wanted to say, there's no chance at all I'm gonna get it..Being a Food Tech Officer isnt that bad after all.. But Ma said it's not over yet,I hadnt even done anything to fight for it..
I sent my appeal letter, made some calls and tawakkal to Allah.. So now, I can let the fate decides for me.. When my appeal was accepted, then I know it is fated..
Maybe the 'something that came up' was just a tiny hurdle for me..

When I look back, at every transition of my life, I had gone through something like this..
I remember I appealed to go to MRSM for form4 but I didnt make it and I stucked at that school for another 2years, got back with my ex-bf (with a messy break-up later)
But I had a wonderful 2years of my life which I wont trade with anything else (and my spm result wasnt that bad anyway..)

Then, for my 1st degree, all my 8choices were rejected because their qualifications needed higher matrix cgpa and the UPU gave me IT for 1st degree.. what?!! IT??!!
And again, I went through the crying and appealing process.. I 'thought' I wanted to be a pharmacist and private college was not an option at all.I managed to get in Food Science and Nutrition course which I felt in love with it on my 1st day of class.. (mind you, the students were only one quarter Malay with only 3Malay males ;)
My friends are awesome and not even a second I regret choosing this course..

And now, I had to go through all that again.. The difference is, this time, my appeal was accepted.. Plus, I'm so good at writing official letters now.. ehehe...

I am a firm believer that everything that happens in my life is for a reason.. Allah knows best and this must be the best for me.. Everything in my life is so far so good, so smooth sailing.. I have no big regrets and I hope it stays this way..

Eh jap.. For that Anonymous person, thanx.. I really want to get to know you.. Well, I am now in the same boat as you were 2years ago. Plus, I dont have any young PTD friends.. hehe.. yang kenal pn, taraf pakcik2.. ;) If u are interested....

  1. Congrats! Hope that you'll be happy with what you have.... and what you have will be happy with you....

    BTW, it is interesting why men don't tend to take this field. I remember how my dietitian friend, Dan who used to work in Beaumont hospital, works in the office surrounded by 15 other women. I'm sure that whenever they go for a night out, all other men wonder how does a guy like that manage to go out with that many women... all at once...
